A clan dedicated to es'prit de corps, but they failed to realize that Nicolas gutted any resemblance to the values the Star League of old once held in high regard. The clans fell upon the Blood Spirits as fools or contemptible losers, sealing their fate.
+Irondrone4 Yeah it's pretty fucking awful to look at. It's one of the reasons I don't want to see 'mechs added past TRO 3058 and most of TRO 3055 look fucking atrocious also after the IIC clan 'mechs.
leakycheese Wouldn't mind it so much if it looked like it could walk. Those legs just don't look like they could actually actuate and walk properly. If it had tread legs it would work but not actual legs. Same issue with I think the Daimyo.
+Critical Rocket Maybe its like something out of Armoured Core with jet skates? (I jest) I agree with you on the Daimyo, that thing looked gash in the art and model version.
leakycheese Can you imagine the poor modellers job when it came to making a mini out of that art? It must have weighed a shit load also when you put it on the table it made indentations in the hexboard ;)
Loving these, Sarna for the win. Waiting for the Clan Wolverine/Not Named clan/Minnesota Tribe one. There you have some serious epic badassedry from their Khan McEwedy. Hoping you do one =)
+SonbiTal Hey my info ain't from sarna :) I read all of this information verbatim from the books. Wolverine is coming. The plan now is going through the remaining clans alphabetically.
Great videos man. I always kinda liked the Blood Spirits. They are so fanatical they are fun to play. I feel I should yell "Allah akbar!!" as I charge into combat.
Critical Rocket I am sure FASA had ideas on how Battletech was going to play out after the fall of Clan Smoke Jaguar and bring the invasion to a close / pause. But I would also point out that the tabletop took a backseat to pumping out video games using its lore.
Mike George Well the earlier games did a pretty decent job using the universe to craft fun campaigns. The best for me was MW2 mercs which although buggy as hell was still very fun and had so many 'mechs. I think MWO could utilise the lore still just not as heavily due to it being an arena shooter.
Second worst clan in terms of actual warfighting capability thanks to lack of resources and isolationism. Fire Mandrills edge them out for the bottom slot by adding endless internal schisms to the formula. The two got along with each other better than with most other clans, but both of them are very, very extinct by the time the Wars of Reaving ended, and really never accomplished anything meaningful in the grander storyline.

*Sees Blood Kite
DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!

+Critical Rocket Awww, poor Blood Kite, I always quite liked its gookiness, the IWM model is cool as well. Still, I agree that Loose > Plog.

With the purity of blood!
"More aggressive clan warriors", You mean the Civilian's
The anti social clan.
Mike George the edgy clan.
Pfft. They're only marginally worse about that than the Fire Mandrills - who, oddly enough, they were actually relatively chummy with.
Great videos man. I always kinda liked the Blood Spirits. They are so fanatical they are fun to play. I feel I should yell "Allah akbar!!" as I charge into combat.
They do have a very fanatical zeal to them. Also they are the only clan not to have a furry fetish :D
RIP
jeezzuz whats next? clan cold tea bag? clan lemonade? clan make up your own god awful joke.
+SH4D0W They spent a long time creating a clan they never intended to do anything with :)
+Critical Rocket If FASA didn't go bankrupt, the additional clans would of been handled better.
Mike George
Yeah. It's a shame they got left out in the cold the way they did.

FIRST.. yes

So basically clan Libertarian
That's Diamond Shark.
